The Tellington TTOUCH Method is a gentle approach to working with animals without fear or force! TTouch is used to support training and behavior modification as well as veterinary care. An additional benefit is a deeper rapport between humans and animals through increased understanding and more effective communication. TTouch creates an awareness and positive changes in behavior. It offers solutions to common behavioral and health-related problems, such as aggression, separation anxiety, excessive barking, chewing, jumping up and leash-pulling in dogs, resistance to grooming, nervousness, shyness, thunder or loud noise phobia, and so on. It can help to promote good health and ease problems associated with aging, illness, hip dysplasia, arthritis, and surgery.
Soothing touches, balance techniques and "a playground of higher learning" all combine to help improve your animal's health and behavior. This is training for the body, mind and spirit of your companion animal.
